Arlington racing pays no dividends to stockholders, nor interest on the two and a quarter million the organizers of it staked to make it a go. The gains of the two meetings past have been devoted to plant improvements designed to promote the comfort of patrons and to purse increases. Future profits will be dispensed in the same directions. Ultimately Arlington racing will boast a stake a day, and no Arlington stake will have a smaller value in added money than ,000. The directors of this clean and wholesome enterprise are Otto W. Lehmann, president; Charles A. McCulloch, chairman of the board; Weymouth Kirkland, General Roy D. Keehn, John R. Thompson, Jr., and Laurence Armour, vice-presidents; John Hertz, chairman of the executive committee; Leonard Florsheim, treasurer; Roy Carruthers, secretary as well as general manager, and Samuel Insull, William Wrigley, Jr., Albert D.
